RIOC Adds Fourth Citi Bike Station to Roosevelt Island
New Station Near McManus Field Provides a Convenient Transportation Option for Residents and Visitors
Roosevelt Island, NY – November 9, 2026 – The Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC), in coordination with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) and Lyft, the operator of Citi Bike, has added a fourth Citi Bike station to Roosevelt Island, expanding access to the popular bike-sharing service and providing an additional transportation option for residents and visitors.
The new station is located adjacent to McManus Field, making it the northernmost Citi Bike station on the island.
The new location will provide a more convenient option for residents of the Octagon, who have long expressed interest in having a Citi Bike station closer to their building. It will also help connect Roosevelt Island from tip to tip, giving residents and visitors additional opportunities to explore the island by bike.
“Roosevelt Island is a wonderful place to explore, and we want to make it easier for residents and visitors to experience everything the island has to offer,” said RIOC President & CEO B.J. Jones. “Adding a Citi Bike station near McManus Field provides a convenient transportation option for the Octagon community and helps connect the island’s northernmost buildings and attractions, including Lighthouse Park and the Girl Puzzle Monument, to the rest of Roosevelt Island.”
“More and more New Yorkers are riding Citi Bike than ever before because bike share is a convenient and quick way to get around the city,” said NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn. "We're proud to partner with RIOC and Lyft to bring a fourth Citi Bike station to Roosevelt Island as part of the latest Citi Bike expansion, providing new commuting options for more neighborhoods in the outer boroughs and in areas across the city where demand for bike share remains high."
“With a new station at McManus Field, Citi Bike now reaches from one end of Roosevelt Island to the other. Whether you’re heading to the subway, the tram, or Lighthouse Park, there’s a bike nearby. We’re grateful to RIOC and NYC DOT for their partnership, and we’ll keep listening to riders and neighbors about where Citi Bike can serve them best,” said Patrick Knoth, General Manager of Citi Bike at Lyft.
"I was happy to support the additional Citi Bike station on Roosevelt Island and even happier that another dock will be added! Roosevelt Island provides a wonderful biking environment for my constituents as well as for all visitors to journey and explore both on-and off-Island,” said State Senator Liz Krueger.
“I am delighted we have another Citi Bike station on island. It's great to have more options for people to get around,” said Paul Krikler, Chair of the Community Board 8 Roosevelt Island Committee.
The new station will complement Roosevelt Island’s existing Citi Bike locations and provide another option for people traveling around the island, whether commuting, visiting its parks and waterfront, or exploring its many attractions. The station was installed on Friday, November 6, 2026, and bicycles are now available to users at the new McManus location.
